Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

The TileDB source package uses cmake and find_package for external resources;
the upstream team maintaining the core library is going to switch to vcpkg
soon.

A full featured TileDB really needs the AWS SDK which we still do not have,
would benefit from the GCS SDK (not in Debian), ditto for Azure as well as
integration with several other components which is difficult as upstream pins
some parts we have (CapnProto, Catch2, ...) but in different versions.

TileDB is an excellent product, and a lovely C++ library that can be used
well from Python and R.  But it is not a good fit within Debian, and after
maintaining for about two years as a caretaker maintainer (it was brought and
then left by someone else) I have come to the conclusion that it is not a
good fit for Debian.

Full disclosure: I work at TileDB and build the library all the time (mostly
on current Ubuntu as my dev env) and am hence quite familiar with various
extensions and optional components.  We are short-changing our users by not
enabling them, but we cannot enable them and stay true to Debian packaging
guidelines. 

Happy to expand if there are questions.

Thanks,  Dirk

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

libtiledb-dev |   2.15.0-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, 
mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
libtiledb2.13 |   2.15.0-1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, 
mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
    tiledb |   2.15.0-1 | source

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM as full builds not possible within Debian
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
